Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was
manufactured in England . In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000
jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico,
which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its
stop in New York . This would have been the largest single shipment of
mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico . But as we know, the great ship
did not make it to New York . The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and
the cargo was forever lost. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about
mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate
at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National
Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day. The National
Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course,
as - Sinko De Mayo.
